O acolhimento ético-político como prática emancipatória na implementação das políticas públicas sociais : uma análise à luz da perspectiva freiriana

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes ethical-political welcoming as an emancipatory practice within the context of social public policies, in light of Paulo Freire?s contributions. It is grounded in the understanding that welcoming goes beyond its technical-operational dimension and constitutes an ethical, political, and relational practice committed to humanization, the guarantee of rights, and social transformation. The study aimed to analyze how ethicalpolitical welcoming is addressed in the scientific literature, discussing its implications for professional practices in social public policies from a Freirean perspective. This is a qualitative, bibliographic, and interpretive study guided by the historical-dialectical materialist method. The documentary corpus consisted of scientific publications from 2020 to 2025, selected from databases and proceedings of academic events and analyzed through thematic content analysis. Paulo Freire's works were used as a theoretical and interpretive framework for the critical reading of the selected material. The results showed that ethicalpolitical welcoming is associated with dimensions such as listening, care, bonding, otherness, dialogue, autonomy, agency, critical consciousness, social justice, participation, and resistance, revealing possibilities for strengthening professional practices committed to human emancipation. It is concluded that, when guided by dialogicity, conscientization, and praxis, welcoming can foster the construction of more democratic, participatory, and humanized relationships, contributing to the guarantee of rights and the development of critical professional interventions. As an outcome of the research, the digital technical-formative booklet Walking Together: Ethical-Political Welcoming as a Possible Horizon in Professional Practice was developed to promote reflection on and improve welcoming practices within social public policies.
